Well i picked up 2 petsmart trimacs and i do believe they are trimacs but i sent rapps some pics to confirm. i told the store manager about the low grade fw theory thats been going around and he asured me they are real tris as he said he is into sa/ca as well and has raised some small ones up before but i will let u know what jeff has to say. i only got pics of 1 cause the other was hiding under a cave.
 
rapps hit me up and his words are there is simply no way to tell at that size. so i hope mine are true and i hope alot of the other poopsmart trimac buyers end up with tris.
 
Those look nothing like my so called Petsmart trimacs
 
mine seem to be much smaller then yours and is not showing any color yet.

no, mine are only 1 1/2 inches long. I would dought thast mine are trimacs though, probably Flowerhorms.
 
Rapps is correct. There is no way to visually tell the difference. That's the big problem. I would treat any "trimac" from PetsMart as a flowerhorn, no matter what.
 
I bought 1 from my local PoopSmart thinking is was a FH and they didnt know what they had (they have no label for them & it was in a tank full of africans). I tricked them into thinking it was a $2.65 fire mouth. He was beautiful until over night my Blue DragonxCherry Red FH killed him. I was soo mad. RIP Poop Smart Tri.
 
Lol, knowing that it's from Petsmart, where they sold Uros as "True Red Terrors", it's probably 99.9% low quality fh. Only way to be sure if it's a true trimac is to get one from Rapps. :)
